Xt is evident that this mirror will find practical and attractive use in one of the guest rooms of the President's Residence. X want to express for the Hansons and for the College, therefore, most sincere appreciation for your thoughtfulness.
1 wanted you also to know Dr. Harold Johnson shared with me the gist of his discussion with you concerning the possibility of your giving to Gettysburg College one of your White House gowns. As a consequence of the discussion which X had with Dr. Johnson, X indicated that X would be more than pleased to advise you of our interest in this possible gift.
